SynchronousSpeed:

Path: Electrical/Motor

% Motor synchronous speed (RPM) from frequency
 Compute motor speed in revolutions per minute from electrical frequency and
 number of poles. This is the speed at which the magnetic field rotates. There
 is an additional factor of 2 which accounts for the total number of zero
 crossings.
